The percent of change in student enrollment is 1.81 % increase
Solution:
Given that, The number of students who attended FPM in 2015 was 1380
In 2016, 1405 students attended FPM
To find: Percent change
The percent change is given by formula:
[tex]\text { percent change }=\frac{\text { final value - initial value}}{\text { initial value }} \times 100[/tex]
If the result is positive, it is percent increase
If the result is negative, it is percent decrease
From given,
Initial value in 2015 = 1380
Final value in 2016 = 1405
Substituting the values in formula, we get
[tex]\text { percent change }=\frac{1405-1380}{1380} \times 100\\\\\text { percent change }=\frac{25}{1380} \times 100\\\\\text { percent change }= 0.01811 \times 100\\\\\text { percent change }= 1.81[/tex]
Thus percent of change in student enrollment is 1.81 % increase
